Skinny top facing up?

No o ring at bottom but one at top. uploading pic
AutoZone has oil pressure sending sockets so I won't need those channel pliers

the socket will fit. it fits over the sensor. I tried it on my new part

Here is the video crying noise after changing pcv

I took the pcv valve out and put it back it, its in there correctly. i think I may have the wrong part. It said 2191 on it but from what i remember it was shorter then the original one. I put the pcv in with the larger round side down

Ok figured it out. correct part but somehow I didn't put the black rubber gasket back on the pcv. when I was out the junkyard I saw it so I just took one off from the junkyard and out the gasket on mine and now the crying went away and air sucking through dipstick hole

Also I got a MAF from the junkyard actually 4 of them for free. Cleaned it up and installed it so the light should be going off soon for good

you don't trust me??

Yes i Do! thanks scottty and everyone else. maf fron junkyard fixed it. my car ****s aa lot better alot now no slipping.

Fun to drive now

Maf does affect shifting

Scotty it's running like a champ fast firm shifts. Fun to drive now thanks to you alll. I made another thread about the slipping of trans few months ago.Shops was saying trans bad or need to be rebuilt.. lol my girl and I are happy..

Never new the Maf would cause slipping of trans but it makes sense now as Maf control engine load etc...

Fix it for free since I got 3 Maf for free. well I paid for Maf cleaner and bought a new air filter and pcv. so I spent maybe $30

Beat a 2001 mustang at take off. they followed me and asked what I did to my car and I told them stock lol. I got them at take off.

the fix was the MAF for anybody that looks up this thread

Still got to fix the oil sensor but I'll wait for that next week when I got time but only $10 part

yea really I was lucky or whatever been driving the car without no oil for 1 week last month and it's been good still riding smooth. and when I say no oil I mean none like less them a quart. I notice it didn't have oil but I thought to myself in just changed the oil 2 weeks ago can't be and kept driving it for a week.

but I don't think it's going to blow the sensor if it does I will change it but I will monitor the oil daily. I might change the sensor tommorow if I have time

wifey said she don't want a plug because she wants to know when something is wrong and want to see the light ...😏😏?????

Ok Scotty so to change the sensor I take off the tire, turn wheel to the left.

now will pliers or vice grips work or will I need those special pliers?
